Beautifully appointed room, comfortable bed, charming private (or shared depending on the room) terrace with umbrella, table and chairs. The proprietor is helpful but not obtrusive. The property is just a couple of very short blocks from the archeological museum and the old town. We are not shoppers but we saw many stores within an easy walk. Highly recommended.

The property was small, clean, quiet and next to the Archeological Museum. Breakfast was not included but there were many options close by. It also had a nice private balcony but no view.

Cool

Very nice and cool hotel seems like everything is recently upgraded. My room had a small balcony and a small kitchenette. The room was facing the street so a bit of noise in the evening. Close to bus and lots of restaurants and sights.
